[UMN_MAPSERVER-USERS] need help with WMS layer

[Kenton Williams]

Hello,

I'm new to adding WMS layers to my mapfiles and I'm having difficulties with 
the layer.  Here's my layer definition from my Mapfile:

        LAYER
          NAME "jpl_landsat7"
          TYPE RASTER
          STATUS DEFAULT
          MAXSCALE 6000000
          CONNECTION "http://wms.jpl.nasa.gov/wms.cgi?";
          CONNECTIONTYPE WMS
            METADATA
              "wms_srs" "EPSG:4326"
              "wms_name" "global_mosaic"
              "wms_server_version" "1.1.1"
              "wms_format" "image/jpeg"
            END
        END

I get the following error from Mapserver (running shp2img):

msDrawMap(): WMS connection error. Failed to draw WMS layer named 
'jpl_landsat7'. This most likely happened because the remote WMS server 
returned an invalid image, and XML exception or another unexpected result in 
response to the GetMap request.
Also check and make sure that the layer's connection URL is valid.

I don't know exactly what I did incorrectly, since I checked the URL (even 
copy/pasted it from the JPL site) and have included all of the required 
information according to the documentation.  

If anyone could offer a suggestion, I'd appreciate it.  Thanks!
